“Space Hellraiser” = nailed it.
Totally! That was my first thought when I first finished it.
Pretty much.
Hellraiser 4 is literally Space Hellraiser.
@@Tedakin Yeah, but it's shit.
@@sidnew2739 The middle sequence with Bruce Ramsay's modern architect was pretty solid, I thought. I liked the first act, too. It really only falls apart in the third act on the space station.
Event Horizon - a cautionary tale of travelling the Warp without a Geller Field!
Ross Geller?
Haha no it's a joke about a theory that Event Horizon is in essence a prelude to the Warhammer 40k universe, those that travel through the "Warp" are at risk of being subjected to the forces of Chaos...effectively what happens in the movie and the only thing that keeps ships relatively safe is a Geller Field that keeps it at bay...hence always bring a Geller Field (and the Emporers protection) 🤣
@@davidbennett5540 The engine room is a dead giveaway that this is a prelude to the 40k universe.
Just ask Garro!
Started scrolling the comments to see how long it would be till I found a 40k reference, glad it wasnt long
Hydra Dominatus
"Movie's too short"
Definitely, and there was an extended edition, sadly lost and never released
The worst part is the footage was found, and Paul Anderson doesn't want to put the money in to fix it, or its just bad quality.
@@liesureleeminis8268 I hadn't heard that. I thought it was destroyed. That sucks. I'd really like to see the original cut of the film.
@@threegoatpurse a lot of it was "too dark" and there's a whole bunch more. I'd like to see them put it out regardless
@@liesureleeminis8268 when was it found?
@@liesureleeminis8268 As far as i know, the original footage was too deteriorated to do anything with. What was found was a VHS of the original version, and it was in terrible shape. Fixing film stock is one thing, but you really can't do much with a bad VHS copy.
Apparently, the original cut of the movie was 40 mins longer and far gorier. Test audiences didn't like it and it was drastically cut back. Sadly, the footage was destroyed.
I also heard that in the original cut the compilation of gore you see play out more like scenes rather than snapshots of horror
i actually enjoy the brief flashbacks of the carnage. it lets you imagine what happened which is scarier than anything they could have shown us on screen.
The gore scenes and extended cut were found in a salt mine if I remember the story correctly. The quality was so degraded though it was useless.
I think that's a myth. Reason being, that would have broken the pacing of the movie, and severely dullled the impact of the gore by overloading the senses with it. They knew this stuff going in. I think we see the thing basically as they intended it. And it was enough to bring on the nightmares for days afterwards.
There's a little of the cut footage. Like when Weir crab climbs down the ladder.
I have a suggestion for later in the year when you have time: In the Mouth of Madness, by John Carpenter (who also directed The Thing), featuring Sam Neil, David Warner, and Charlton Heston.
Oh yeah. It's the best "Lovecraftian" horror movie made and ironically it's not based on anything by HP Lovecraft. It's like Stephen King wrote a short story or novel that was heavily inspired by Lovecraft and Poe. I really really like that movie.
This was always a double bill to watch with Event Horizon back in the 90s!
@@scyphe "Best" is debatable, but it is pretty damn good.
My favourite Carpenter film after The Thing
My 2nd favourite Carpenter movie. That fucking dog and children imagery will haunt me forever.
Before seeing the movie "so that's the ship they all die on?" Nailed it 🤣🤣
Love Sam Neill...He's often the best thing in the film he's in. Fun Fact, His family owned one of the biggest wineneries in New Zeland, and thus is a multi-millionaire. He went into acting because it was fun. I see a lot of love in th comments for "In the Mouth of Madness" another great mind-fuck of a film, by the always great Mr Carpenter.
I walked in to a record in Dunedin, New Zealand once, and Sam Neill was there behind the counter. He was lovely to chat to.
Has a pet pig too, and his Twitter feed is a constant stream of good will and happiness.
Agreed. He's underrated as both an actor and leading man.
I want them to watch in the mouth of madness so much. Such a great concept for story
Watch Possession, another great horror film he's in.
It sucks that we’ll never see the full cut of this movie.
Yeah, the footage is lost.
Oh what couldve been
Maybe one day..
The footage went through the portal. It'll be back one day.
The world probably still isn't ready for that. It may never be.
If you know anything about warhammer 40.000, this movie actually is a perfect example of mankind's first voyage through the warp without a gellarfield. Supposedly the writer took a lot of inspiration from 40k
And the slightly gothic ship design
Yep, as a Warhammer fan myself i actually thought this was a prequel or at least set in the same universe because the portal opening a door to the other side is a total reference to the Daemons and their Dark Dimension.
@@vinzegcs "Slightly?"
If you guys like Event Horizon and Failure of a Gellar Field. Check out the short film Metachaos. Absolute insanity.
This movie actually inspired the Dead Space games
That’s cool
The first dead space is the best
And Dead Space was infinitely better than Event Horizon
@@MightyJonE event horizon is awesome
@@MightyJonE true but without this film dead space wouldnt be so top tier 🤷🏻♀️
Dont even need to watch before gifting a like. Event Horizon just class...canny wait to see the reactions
haha, they didnt like it much
The studio made them cut the gore and the film down. Unfortunately,all the extra reels were kept in a salt mine in Romania and, by the time they went to get the reels, the film extras had turned to dust.
you can find the cut scenes online
For anyone confused about the salt mine part, former salt mines are often repurposed as film storage warehouses because their climate is ideal for preserving the film. These reels were mishandled which is why they deteriorated.
@@cameronvincent3122 Also it's because the movie wasn't very good so they came up with an excuse. "Too terrifying for audiences! The original was destroyed in a romanian salt mine!" ... bleh.
@@itachileesan just a couple of scenes, but the majority ones are gone :-(
@@MST3Killa Squeamish people walked out of those scenes. It's on the same level as Hellraiser.
"We have such ships to show you!"
🤣
You opened it. We came.
@@symondo5883 "It's just a puzzle-ship!"
“We’ll tear your fuselage apart!”
You really need to watch "Pandorum" if you like space/scifi horror.
I second this! Do it guys.
I seent it. It was okay.
I liked that one too
Was just about to comment this
Watch it
It's Solaris mixed with Hellraiser, set in the 'Aliens' universe.
Plus Shining plus Flatliners
aka "Warhammer 40k"
Oh you mean Warhammer 40k?
How is this Set in the aliens universw
No this is just Tuesday in the Warhammer 40k universe
Cult classic guilty pleasure. Always trust a Sam Neill movie.
You should know that the theatrical release was infamously edited by the studio to make it more palatable for mainstream audiences, and people have always wanted to see the mythical director's cut. That might explain why/if it feels choppy or herky-jerky towards the end.
How is it choppy or herky jerky towards the end?
Last Sam movie I watched, Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Just like this one, it did not disappoint. Sam Neill always delivers.
Sadly it would seem the last copy of the extra scenes was stored in a Transylvanian salt mine to keep the negatives intact, but it had been improperly cared for so not usable. I still keep hope alive that someone, somewhere, will find a the long lost cut with the deleted scenes.
Another great Sam Neill movie that nobody saw was "The Dish". It's based on a true story.
Dead Calm is a banger
I really enjoyed the movie, it was literally a haunted house in space. The imagery was incredible and stays with you
Now you guys need to watch “Sunshine”, directed by Danny Boyle. It’s not horror, per se, more drama and sci fi, with a twist. It stars Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, and a bunch of other actors whose names you probably don’t know but whose faces you’ve seen.
Yes!
Yes! I hope it's on their list
of films to react to in the future.
I've been trying to watch that film for like 5yrs.
With Cliff Curtis from "Once Were Warriors". Love that dude.
"Sunshine" is definitely a masterpiece. And there is a divine soundtrack.
Yes! Finally! "Event Horizon"! I saw this in the theater when it came out, not knowing what to expect; man o man; intense.
And if you've seen the Harry Potter movies, you may recognize Jason Isaacs (the poor guy who got field-dressed) as Lucius Malfoy.
Again, another horror film that should've been a huge blockbuster, but the studio screwed it up. They didn't properly market it, and allegedly there was some bad test screens. But, Event Horizon is a Cult-Classic now.
I saw this in the theater when it came out, I was 16 and it was terrifying! I was especially horrified by the person on the ceiling who was disemboweled and intestines were dangling below.
I saw this at the movies....and after a while, I was like..."Oh, this is a bad idea..."
For it's day, the graphics were top notch.
This movie was originally meant to be longer. But unfortunately, due to test screenings throwing up at the gore, they had to cut it, leaving it looking unfinished
Thank u! I was just about say the same thing. I also remember them saying that one of the test audience fainted from a cut scene because of how horrific it was. There were also going to make a detectors cut but all the cut footage was lost.
@@raintuatoo6383 You’re welcome
They cut so much from the former crew going insane and the hell vision scene at the end. I don't know if they could have received an R rating with those cuts lol.
@James Cricket There's no need to be rude mate come on
@James Cricket Still, there's better ways to say things..
"My knowledge is from Interstellar with the paper and the pencil through the hole."
And then they finally learned where Interstellar got that from. Event Horizon did a LOT of things first. It all comes full circle, everybody.
This is the movie that popularized the "folded page, folded space" trope, although the concept has been addressed prior to this in other media, like one of the "Hitchhiker's Guide" books (though I can't remember which one atm).
Yeah, every time I see that in a movie talking about wormholes I think "here they go again with the Event Horizon folding paper thing".
I think Dune popularized it in scifi fan circles.
Dune was before Hitchhikers. They even call it Folding Space.
A few of things:
1). I'm not actually talking about folding space; I'm talking about a specific trope in which someone explains the concept of folding space, for the purpose of ftl travel, by folding a cloth or a piece of paper. There may have been other examples of this in film, but I can think of none before Event Horizon. My apologies if I was initially unclear about that.
2). Hitchhiker's Guide (the book series, not specifically that book) was just one example (the first that came to mind when I was writing my original comment) of the trope appearing in other media aside from film. It was not intended to be the definitive example. Again, my apologies if I was unclear. A Wrinkle in Time uses this trope prior to Hitchhiker's Guide, and in fact, Robert A. Heinlein's Starman Jones, published in 1953, is probably the originator of this trope.
3). There is no mention of folding space in Dune (the book). Ctrl+f for yourself if you don't believe me: 1.droppdf.com/files/BMCyS/dune-frank-herbert.pdf
4). Folding space is not discussed in Dune (the book series) until Heretics of Dune, published in 1984, and even then, it does not use the trope I am actually discussing here.
5). I am being very pedantic on the internet, and for that, too, I apologize.
Yeah, I am pretty sure it was popular before this. Not sure about the folded paper part, though. Maybe it was in Doctor Who or Star Trek first? If you mean TV-wise. I have a feeling like there is an example, but maybe not pre-1997?
I made the mistake of watching this alone in the dark.
"To you Hell is just a word. The reality is much much worse." Chills
I feel like this is a movie that would benefit from being remade with updated writing etc. I love the concept.
I don't think remaking things is what our culture needs to indulge in any more. I think new ideas and new adventures are a far better use of time. If someone wants to explore similar territory in a new movie, then go for it, but leave old movies alone. Remakes are SO TIRED.
Best line ever. Captain Miller sees the video and says "we're leaving". Hahahaha
I always loved the fan theory that Event Horizon is a Doom (game) prequel.
good idea tho))
I have heard that. I have also heard that it was inspired by the Chaos monsters from Warhammer 40,000.
It makes sense the Gravity Drive is technically a Teleporter like the ones on Phobos and Deimos in Doom. Possessed Weir reminds me of Dr Betruger too.
this movie scared the hell out of me when it came out
On the other side of Sci fi, I highly recommend Contact or Arrival. These are believable looks at first contact.
Contact, yes. Arrival , no. Saw that in theatres and I was so bored
Contact was good!
Contact was great. Arrival was so so.
Arrival is not as it added some kind of strange time travel stuff that is impossible, but Contact is one of the better ones and was written by Carl Sagan, of course. Other than that, it's pretty believable, and a good example of hard sci-fi, though I'm a bigger fan of soft sci-fi, namely, cyberpunk, etc. as it's much better from a meta-narrative and psychological viewpoint, more so if it's also believable. 2001 (1968) is still one of the best examples, though, of course, written by Clarke. It doesn't need to be believable to be better, but it tends to be. That's the problem with Contact and Arrival and other hard sci-fi: they don't mean much after you have seen them once, whereas, soft sci-fi stays with you forever as it's much more meaningful/impacting. The Martian is a great example of first contact with Mars, though.
@@213byron Might want to re-watch contact. Quite literally more boring and arguably one of the biggest let-downs of any film ending.
"Fuck this ship!" is the perfect reaction after seeing the captain's log
Great movie saw it at the theater pretty frightening! Also “What’s wrong with Sam Neill” sounds like an 90s indie rock band awesome thanks for sharing your fun reaction!
Personally, I think one aspect of Sam Neil’s character that was left unexplored and could have explained some of the things about him, is the following:
Weir had opened the portal before and knew that it led to Hell, or some Hell-like dimension. It makes sense, because otherwise, how would he know the gravity drive even worked? No way that test where the ship disappeared was the first time testing it ever, and with a live crew? No way, never, not for anyone remotely scientific or funded by/working with other scientists. He had to have tested it, had to have sent drones or something through before, and they came back ok. And I’m willing to bet that one time, before the Event Horizon’s fateful trip, he stepped though that portal himself, when no one was around to stop him, so he could be the first.
This also explains the whole thing of having nightmares about his wife with no eyes even before going into the EH; when he first went through years before and found out what the gravity drive really did, he encountered a phantom of his wife, who had killed herself before he finished his work. This was caused by his feelings of guilt, and explains not only why he still has nightmares about her so similar to the illusions on the EH, but why he was so desperate to get to the ship again, and why he was so mesmerized by the GD. He knew it was the key to seeing his wife again in that other Hell world, but the ship used that and corrupted his selfish intentions to its own and that of Hell’s. This would allow it to use him as its avatar and bring more victims back to Hell.
If this theory were worked into the movie, and everything we see about Weir tells me that something close to what I’ve just said must be the case, it would provide a lot better context for why he suddenly pulls an Anakin Skywalker and becomes evil after a single conversation.
I don't agree that Weir had tested the drive before. I think they did the EH test in remote space because they didn't know what would happen. So Weir would previously only have been working in theory.
But I do agree that guilt is the key. People weren't seeing things they feared, they were seeing things they felt guilty about. So maybe Hell was punishing them before they had even died.
My own theory is that the ship wasn't "possessed", but the other dimension was leaking through the drive, making people perceive things differently and believe that their memories were coming to life.
Underrated Sci-fi horror cult classic
love the premise, love the production design and even most of the cast.....but damn that movie goofy as fuck and the black comic relief guy plus some really dumb choices almost ruin it. its kind of a guilty pleasure for me...but to call it cult classic...i dont know..
@@thefearhawk8805i agree but me and many other people love it for decades, something can be a cult classic and not be perfect
I like a lot of the elements (particularly the opening third of the film), but it is no where near to perfect, in any sense of the word. Perfect isn't even on the table 😅.
I think the weaknesses really bring down the film to the point it can only be considered Mediocre at best (despite how much I truly adore the overall concept, the opening sequences, the production design, and the supernatural/preternatural/hell/horror/Lovecraftian elements and overtones - the film just falls apart as it heads towards it's conclusion).
This movie was originally 130 minutes long and was cut down by paramount and forced into an early release in the summer because Titanic was delayed.
The cut footage was lost but added a lot of backstory, setup and horror. (As legend goes)… it also didn’t screen well with audiences because they were still making the effects while screening it leading to more changes.
I’m surprised it’s as good as it is given how it was treated but your nostalgia comment is still spot on.
This movie was nearly brilliant. The directors cut was lost, lots of footage lost (arguments with production etc.). A tragedy really. Like you said, this movie could have been amazing.
And they were trying to rush it before Titanic came out and dominated the box office. I would pay all the money for a directors cut of this!! X_x
me too dude.
The way Laurence Fishburne says "Fuck this ship" makes me crack up every time.
I've seen it mentioned in other articles & videos that Event Horizon has similarities to Warhammer 40K. Humanities first contact with the Chaos realm...
Fun fact? This actually has the most REALISTIC depiction of a human being blown into the vacuum of space. His blood starts rupturing out of his body due to the lack of outer pressure, it's also boiling, he probably would have fully ruptured if he hadn't screamed loud and long enough to empty his lungs.
None of that gasping for air or randomly freezing shit, niether of those things happen. You basically get The Bends and rupture all over the place.
I'm one of those people that misremembered this movie more fondly than it deserved. I think folks like me were remembering the movie the way it could have been and our imaginations were running with the POTENTIAL of the movie, not what it actually was. I too love the Abstract Space Horror combo that this movie introduced me to. I wonder how much this film influenced games like Doom and Dead Space or if they have a common core influence I'm unaware of.
Well, Doom came first by like 5 years. This movie really does tread old ground and doesn't do it particularly well.
It's definitely better as a concept than what is executed. I like this movie, warts and all, and I can admit that there are warts. There's definitely a lot of ham in the dialogue, the ship design, and even some of the horror elements, but to me there's still enough there to be scary and interesting. It definitely doesn't belong in some grand pantheon of great horrors or regarded as a dystopian sci-fi think pieces, but there's enough meat on the bones of the film to make it influential. Horror can be bad and still be endearing too, and Event Horizon has it's charms beneath the bad ADR and impractically over the top set pieces.
Doom came out way before this film so probably not much
@@MST3Killa yeah the first one but the franchise has iterated since it
It’s one I watched growing up, really affected me at that age
An Event Horizon is the point in a black hole where even light can't escape and Just gets sucked in. That's why you can't see inside at all. So that's what he named his ship after.
You boys should watch Pandorum if you want to see a Really underrated, and relatively unknown sci-fi movie.
Definitely a good one to watch if you want sci fi horror
Disagree. Went through a scifi horror binge the other month and Pandorum was the weakest movie by FAR. Started off good, but turned into a standard cheesy zombie chase/action movie after the first act. Started off so strong and just got weaker as the movie went on.
Good ending though
Also, gents, I think both The Cell and Dark City are two movies you will thoroughly enjoy.
I’d like to see you guys react to “Sphere”. It has a similar sci-fi horror vibe, mixed feelings from many people, but I love both the movie and the Michael Crichton book.
Very similar even in quality.
Space is okay, as is Sunshine, among others. 2001 (1968) is better, though.
Protagonist DOES NOT mean hero.
Proto Agony before the conflict.
Antagonist DOES NOT mean villain.
Anti Agony against the conflict.
The protagonist is the first character we meet.
The antagonist is the one who challenges the protagonist.
You first meet Sam Niell and he is the protagonist.
The living, insane ship is the antagonist.
In the end Laurence Fishburne is the antagonist who destroys the ship and Sam Niell with it.
Seeing this makes me want to see y'all react to another Sam Neill 1994 horror movie called "In the Mouth of Madness ". It's wild and the plot twist is a total mind fuck. Loved it! idk if it qualifies as a scifi but I believe it can be classified as lovecraftian horror
Ah yes, my favourite 40k prequel film
Sphere (1998) is similar to this is some ways. It's something I think you two would find intriguing. I doubt there's much push from your viewers to watch this, however. But considering people want you to watch this, perhaps I'm wrong.
I think Sphere is the better of the 2
Sphere the book is great. The movie is 💩.
Sphere was a solid movie. Great cast.
Another fantastic reaction lads. Event Horizon is certainly a flawed film but the ideas it explores are fascinating, it’s such a shame that the powers that be told the editors to butcher the film in editing. It would have been fascinating to see the cut material in a directors cut, but that will never happen as the deleted scenes are no more.
Please take a look at the 2002 classic Dog Soldiers, for me the second best werewolf film ever!!!!!
Would really love to have seen what the movie was like in its original form. Of course though studious constantly butcher movies
I was a kid when then came out, it scared the crap out of me. To this day it is one of my favorite movies.
That green corridor scene with Sam Neil is literally in Dead Space! Dope🔥
FYI the gravity drive that they talk about is actually known as a Pandorics similar to the Lament Configuration from HELLRAISER. A Pandorics is a puzzle box designed to open a GATEWAY INTO HELL.....
Do you think there's a chance that after this they'll actually WATCH Space Hellraiser (Hellraiser 4: Bloodline) and have their first BAD rating on the horror list? That could potentially be interesting.
@@harleyjackson3708 Hellraiser 4 was wrecked by the producers, but I am still fond of what remains.
This movie is a classic so I'm glad to see you guys react to it. Keep up the awesome work
"Where we are going, we don't need eyes!" man, I like this movie!!!
According to IMDB, all of the cut footage that is needed to do a proper directors cut was stored improperly at some underground facility overseas and as a result, it has either turned to liquid or evaporated. I have pre-ordered the Blu Ray from Scream Factory and it's true, the release date has been pushed back multiple times (it was supposed to be released last summer), both due to Covid and holding out hope that some copy of the cut footage will be found. Also, Anderson originally wanted the EDM group Orbital to compose the music for the film because he is a huge fan of the John Carpenter-like synth scores.
"Event Horizon" & "Sphere" were the 2 underrated sci-fi movies that really got me into the sci-fi genre. I absolutely like this movie even though the writing was meh but it scared the hell out of me and I enjoyed it. The cast is good, the sets are still fantastic & full of style. It felt like the inside of a spaceship, but also somehow felt like they were trapped underground & everything felt claustrophobic. If only the Director's cut footage existed, such a tragedy.
It was stored in a saltmine in Transylvania of all places.
Yes, Sphere is a good SF movie, have it on DVD
I've been asking for this review for months and months: I'm so glad you watched it! Now, my next suggestion will be...? Thanks, lads!
Please please please: In the Mouth of Madness.
I think in the original cut of the film (before it was cut down to get a lower certificate) it's implied that Sam Neil's character was on the original mission and there's more backstory to his connection to the ship.
I love this movie, as a brother. IT'S is actually how Black people would react in this situation. HORIZON solves the question of " Why don't they get out of there?"
"We're leaving." Perfect response, lol.
13:30 one of my favorite parts thanks for leaving that in!
I'm so glad you guys finally watched this. I watched Event Horizon with my dad when I was little and I was traumatized. But I agree, seeing it as an adult, it's really not all that great. There's definitely the nostalgia element for me, though. And speaking of Laurence Fishburne, he stars in the show "Hannibal," which I really hope you'll react to one day!
One of my late 90s faves.
Sunshine is a sci-fi space movie that gets a little hairy at the end, reckon you'd both like it.
fans have been asking for the 'dirty kebab' uncut version before studio meddling for a long time. It shows more back story and all the hell scenes you only glimpse on the cinema release version. The director was even said to go searching for it physically and found one copy in a warehouse degraded beyond use.
You guys talking about how versatile horror is made me think of the movie "It Follows". That movie has an unique concept, and is pretty underrated in my opinion.
Oh yes, this is absolutely unique concept! Very scary, but very sad as well.
Only horror film that's ever given me nightmares.
It's great.
Love that one!
And you can make a good drinking game out of it: Everytime you see a plothole, you drink a shot. You'll be hammered after 30 minutes
A lot of people seem to think that this film has some relation to the Warhammer 40k universe. This is because of what Sam Neil's character said something about the ship had traveled much further than they could ever have imagined. So the ship and all the crew where turned by the warp into chaos.
but Tom , Space Hellraiser was already made. It was called Bloodlines Hellraiser 4
My family and I saw this film scarf the hell out of us! Lol! We thought it was just a Sci Fi Action Adventure, but it turned into a Horror film 15 minutes later. It's one of my favorite films growing up.
Day 1 of asking you two to watch Sinister. My favorite horror movie.
5.40: Wow, Shaun is a really good singer :D
''Mandy'' starring Nicolas Cage would be an interesting watch for you guys I think. I still have my fingers crossed you'll check out Ash vs Evil Dead as well.
Mandy is a fucking TRIP!
I always describe this film as "The Shining in space".
You guys should watch The Crow. Imho the most quotable movie of all time.
"What the shit?!"
MOTHER IS THE NAME FOR GOD ON THE LIPS OF A CHILD
@@indiatastic Mother is the word for God on the lips and in the hearts of all children. Close though so you get a B+ XD
@@TackJorrance there are some iconic comedic lines in Lebowski no doubt but in The Crow there are great quotes and dialogue like every couple mins. Its a breathtakingly stunning script. Its like poetry. Love Lebowski though. Its like one of my all time faves.
@@TackJorrance Wow. Your opinionated arnt you? Lol. There is no rite or wrong mate. Theres only opinions and youre entitled to yours and im entitled to mine. To me The Crow is the most quotable movie ever made. To you and many others it may be The Dark Knight, Forrest Gump, Dirty Dancing or The Big Lebowski. Theres no official rite answer only opinions. Get over yourself.
If I'm not mistaken, the teenager and the doctor were in another movie together that came out the year prior. I don't know if you've ever seen "Breakdown", but it's an edge-of-your-seat thriller. OMG! React to that! Patreon power activate! lol
So glad you've watched it. Now you have to watch In the Mouth of Madness. Its very Lovecraftian and weird like this. It also had the awesome Sam Neill again. I'm a Kiwi so I'm biased.
Forbidden Planet 1956 classic. Space and slight horror, plus Robby the Robot!
Guys you need to react to "Session 9" it's one of the scariest movies ever 😱 and it's nothing supernatural, all psychological. Scary as hell.
The one with the builders in the old asylum! Yes, its excellent
@@alilindsay4304 exactly, by the same director of The Machinist, another superb movie.
I remember seeing Interstellar in the theater and thinking "Event Horizon reference!" at the paper folding scene.
This movie is full of some really terrifying imagery and concepts, but is just only okay. It's prime material for a remake - a flawed product that's dated but full of spectacular ideas. Great cast, great story, meh execution.
How is it just only okay? Can you elaborate more on what's flawed about it?
If the story is great the execution is also great right?
Bizarre creative choices, like Cooper's antics in space, quipping and talking to himself - the lads laughed at it because of how out of place it is, it looks bad and is jarring tonally compared the horror of everything else that's going on. I think the script could have done with another rewrite or two as there's so many clunky lines, a lot of the humour doesn't land and none of the characters have as much depth as they could have. A more consistent tone, updated effects, a cast matching this one's calibre and a better director behind it, a reboot would be sick. Maybe a Netflix miniseries or something.
I also don't think it quite commits to its premise enough - the idea of hell being like another dimension, driving people to murderous insanity, mutilating themselves, is truly scary. And there are moments scattered throughout where it taps into that really well, just not enough of them. And the stuff in-between is mostly fluff.
@@jimchapman9595 you have to remember a lot of the shots were cut out because the studio forced them to cut it out and unfortunately is now lost for good.
Now I think this movie is better than ok but yes it got rough spots.
Is the terrifying stuff on a post credit scene or directors cut? This movie is like Hereditary - a lot of hype but not scary at all
Sam is underrated. That guy played in so many horror movies of the 80s and 90s. A lot of underrated ones too. Day 1 of requesting The Void.
Sam Neill, underrated? You be kiddin', right?
The Void was pretty good, too. Did you see The Endless?
For me, Sam Neill was one of those actors I didn't even realize I'd seen outside of Jurassic Park until I revisited all those bizarre horror movies I thought were just dreams and nightmares, lol. Also, fucking love the Void!!! It's a very happy-place movie for me, strangely soothing and calming. Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh was also very good imho.
He's fantastic in the first season of Peaky Blinders.
And if you like Sam Neill, check out "The Dish".
You guys should watch the 2002 Movie "May" It is a film that very few people even know about, but it is Fantastic, Roger Ebert gave it 4/4 stars. Brillant film.
Oh I love that one! "Do you like pussy...cats?" Such a unique and sad creepy film.
"...but it was the 90's..." probably the best summing up of this film and the negative aspects of it.
I'm in the group of people who do rate this film as a classic - yes I saw it on release in a cinema with an audience that reacted beautifully to all the bits designed to create a response and yes it was 24 years ago so there is a nostalgic tint to my memory of this.
I think that the group of people who do like it for what it is allow the concept and story to gloss over the flaws of the film - like the clunky dialogue (it was the 90's!) and obvious CGI (even in the 90's it was considered poor for that!). Allowing for that and not letting it detract from the overall impression of the film lets you be more immersed into that vision, putting yourself in that position and wondering how you would feel or react.
Those that feel they need to see more of the gory scenes that were shot but cut or to have more exposition and narrative to explain the story I feel will always be disappointed. If you have the intelligence to work it out and the imagination to fill in the blanks your mind will always do a better job of creating the lost images and narrative than the actual film could. I think this film works better as it is than becoming a gore porn picture with what I heard was shot for it! Don't get me wrong - gore porn films have their place and as long as you go in with that expectation then fine- but this film is not one and shouldn't be expected to be one.
It's why thrillers/chillers and productions that focus on atmosphere and story always win out for me over full on horror. My mind will always do a better job of scaring me than any horror film.
By the by - seeing this 24 years ago was the last film that gave me nightmares and the screaming heebie jeebies! I watched Sphere a few months later which has a very similar premise but it was very dull in comparison and the production design just made me think "studio" whereas Event Horizon felt much more Spaceship. I've enjoyed many so called "horror" or "thriller" films since but for the most part they were either entertaining or were dull un-inspiring re-treads of everything that has been done before right back to the silent German expressionism horror films. Shame!
The editors had to remove a descent amount of gore and horror from the movie to avoid an x rating.
i love Event Horizon because i saw it in the theatre and it has been one of my favorite sci-fi horrors. i normally dislike all these remakes, BUT Event Horizon would be a remake that could absolutely be better than the original with some tweeks.
"This is England!" Great movie and series
@James Cricket haha the semi autobiographical story of how the director felt he and other young boys were recruited into the bnp in the 80s is propaganda?
I'd bet all the money in the world that your a bit racist arnt ya mate.
It's ok, I'm from an all white counsel estate too but you don't have to hate on anything that has a message of anti racism. You can rise above it.
@James Cricket haha it's true isn't it. You think the problem with the world is too many immigrants. You voted for brexit. Your proud to be British. You wear your union jack with pride. You love the boys in the military and think they are all heros. You hate the black lives matter movement. You think everyone is too soft these days. You think feminists are ruing Hollywood. You hate environmental rights people and think Boris is a top bloke. You probably think we should bring back hanging and you definitely didn't grow up in a multicultural area.
I can make all these assumptions about you based off one sentence and I bet at least 90% of them are correct.
Racist right wing Hitler loving old school nutters like you stand out a mile away bud.
@James Cricket says the racist who doesn't know the difference between films and propaganda and who thinks calling things woke is clever and means something.
But ye keep calling me names if it makes you feel like a big clever man. Definitely don't try and engage in conversation with any reasoning.
You right wing gun nuts don't enjoy backing up your insults with reasoning do you.
Mate your as 2D as a movie villain.
@James Cricket yes. Christ alive. So far you have called me "weird", a "bell end" and told me to bend over. You should know that. You wrote it.
I on the other hand have assumed your racist because of the thing you wrote that was laced with racist ignorence.
Keep digging.
Yeah... I like the soundtrack and the young talented actors getting their starts.
And I always think about when I hear "Shaun" cause Smell
The Changeling. Yes, going to continue pestering you. Is a MUST see!
Another interesting sci-fi horror film that you might be interested in is "Sphere" it came out a year after this film had a great cast, psychological elements that are better handled than this film but it's in an underwater setting. The cast is fab too, Dustin Hoffman, Liev Schreiber, Samuel L Jackson and Sharon Stone. I can imagine you'd want to take a break from Sci-fi horror but that's my recommendation.
I don't classify sphere as a horror tho great movie though, I say it's a scfi thriller
I've got mixed feelings on Sphere. Just my opinion of course, but I thought the book (Michael Creighton who also wrote Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, Congo) was much better. The movie is okay with a great cast, but some aspects of the story just didn't translate well to film (even more so with Congo. Great book, but the film adaptation just did not turn out well - outside of Tim Curry's so-bad-It's-great performance🤣). It may have actually helped my opinion of the movie if I had not read the book prior to that. To each their own though.
The book is okay, I thought the movie was terrible.
Okay but, Shaun can actually sing… am I right? Get it lad, with them pipes 👏
Haha thank you, I actually sing and play guitar as a Hobby 😊
@@CinemaRules nice! I was going to say, shouldn’t let that go to waste 🥰 Maybe you’ll treat us and post a little sing song on the gram! ☺️
If you haven’t seen Pandorum, that would be a fun movie reaction
Sam Neil, Sean Pertwee & Jason Isaacs. OH MY. . . *melts into a 45 year old woman shaped puddle*
*Trivia point.*
Sean Pertwees dummy body double is also used in the cellar in "Dog Soldiers."
One of my favourite horror/sci-fi movies of all time. Very underrated.
The Doctor wasn't corrupted at first, merely arrogant, full of hubris. He couldn't believe that this perfect thing he made had gone wrong. What his wife did only made this worse. So, he was so determined to salvage his legacy that he denied anything could possibly be wrong, even as the evidence was piling up.
Because of this arrogance and love of his creation, the ship was easily able to take him over.
Theres an idea that this film could be a WH40K film.
Well, you could easily shove it there, it's just some ship going through the warp without a protective gellar field, so yeah, warp 'demons' of the slaneshii kind got to the crew X3
One of the film's writers, Philip Einser, has confirmed that he was a huge fan of 40k and was influenced by it when writing Event Horizon. 40k fans have accepted it as fanon to take place when the Warp was discovered by humans for the very first time. Pretty awesome stuff!
Finally!!!
Also...there was at least 30 minutes lost that was cut of the Hell sequences, in a fire. It was cut in order to gain release!!
What could have been!!!!!
Do you guys have "Let the Right One In" on your 'to-do' list? One of the most interesting horror movies ever made, I think.
The original is my preferred version as it stays more loyal to the book (I like the authors other works )but I also like the Americana remake let me in
Let Me In isn't really a horror film, more a study of loneliness. Great film the original.
I Love this film. You're spot on though with how it's a great vision with some unfortunate execution: they only had 4 weeks for post production and then in test screenings people complained about the gore (some fainted) and that the film was too long, so the studio massively edited it. Final result is a bit of a mess, but you can see it had a brilliant concept. I would love to see it remade, which is rare for me. As long as 'I'm coming Baby Bear!' stays in. Essential.
You should definitely do Alien a 1979 space horror film that is incredible. I reccomend getting the Alien quadrology that has the 2003 Director Cut with added footage.
Why the fuck are you talking as if they don't know what Alien is? 😂
This movie might have scared the piss out of me when I saw it as a teenager. And it might still scare me to this day... One of my favorites.
I didn’t really like this when I saw it in the theater. It’s slightly more entertaining with your commentary.
I remember thinking it was nothing special back in the 90s, but it's since gained a reputation for being SO scary.
I randomly came across it last year, not having heard anything about it at all (so no pre-conceived notions one way or another) and watched it. When I saw the actors in it, I expected it to be at least be decent and as far as I'm concerned, it was just that. A decent space horror :/ I was very surprised to see people talking so highly of it in comment sections of people reacting to it and didn't bother watching any of the reactions. When I saw these guys had watched it though, I had to watch and I agree, they make it more enjoyable, lol.
I think it's overrated. Really cool concept but with an okay execution in my opinion. Of course, I might just have high standards as an avid watcher of horror movies with a particular affinity for horrors/thrillers taking place in submarines and on ships (whether ocean or space). Speaking of which, there really needs to be more horror movies like that!
Oooh, they should watch The Perfect Storm and Ghost Ship, if they haven't already! Oh! And Storm of the Century! If it can be found. I can't find it anywhere and my VHS copy is so worn, neither the sound or the image comes through most of the time... :(
@@VelkanAngels RLM recently did a review of the movie and it might be their most disliked video as of yet ^^
This mediocre movie has a pretty rabid fanbase.
@@arsenelupin9697 Yes I agree, it's throughly mediocre. I saw it in the theaters when it first came out and was very disappointed. I do remember the reviews not being that great. Every time I see someone recommend it in the comments I just sigh. It reminds me of three other mediocre and disappointing films "Leviathan", "DeepStar Six" and "Sphere".
@@blkluv100 True.
Leviathan had pretty neat effects though - that's at least something ^^
I was 16 when this movie came out. A friend and I bought tickets to see Batman and Robin and then snuck in to see this movie. I'll always remember that. I love this movie.
